THE BUILDING BOOM.
What Mr.. Bailey Davenport Pro-
poses to Do.
A Fair Proposition to the City which
VIII Probably be Aecepted---New
Houses on Eleventh Avenue.

Eyes," said Mr., Bailey Davenport, in
reply to a query from an ARGUS reporter
this morning in regard to his future plans
of laying out lots and building houses on
Eleventh avenue, II propose to do my
share toward the upbuilding of that part
of town, if the city will do its proper
ton. All | ask the city TO do is to put
Eleventh avenue from Fifth to Eleventh
streets in good condition. 1t will require
but little expenditure of money. as the
avenue is open, and all that is needed is
one little bridge and some grading
Mayor Blanding and the street committee
we're out the other day, and they looked
upon the proposition quite favorably.
CAS- l said, if the city will attend to it's
proportion of the work. l Will do
mine. | will lay out twenty lots and
build as many houses on the north
side of the avenue by fall, and sell
them on easy terms; requiring nothing
down, the first payment being made in one
wear and the rest on four years time at
six per cent. Then on the south side |
will lay out forty lots which | will sell
at reasonable figures. This is part OF
town, where believe such houses as
propose to erect will be very desirable to
the working men in the lower end OF
town, as the location is very convenient
for employees in the saw mill glass and
stove works, boundaries, ETC.
Mr.. Davenports propositions seems to
be fair enough. If it will not require
two much of an outlay, the city should
and probably will repair Eleventh avenue
Immediately. The work must be don'
eventually and this is as good - time a
